Steelmaking

Charter Steel's commitment to excellence begins with the quality of its billets. Our modern melt shops in Saukville, Wisconsin and Cleveland, Ohio produce high quality, clean, and chemically precise billets.

The melting process begins with a carefully controlled blend of raw materials that is continuously refined until Charter achieves the optimal chemistry and temperature. Deoxidizing and alloying elements are added to create specific carbon and alloy properties and each heat is vacuum-treated before the steel is continuously cast.
